The National Monuments Service's description
In the front garden of Durham Lodge, although thought locally to have come from Hollywell House c. 700m to the N and to relate to a family called Sandys, who were in Ireland since the late 17th century. Limestone slab (Wth 0.82m; H 0.8m; T 0.13m) with a raised crest of the arms of France and (probably) England, surrounded by the motto of the Order of the Garter. There is a raised 'R' in the top right corner, but the top left corner has been removed, but may have had an 'E' for Elizabeth, indicating a late 16th century date. It may have formed part of Malby's refurbishment of Roscommon Castle (RO039-043010-). (Mehigan, 2006)
